East Tennesee &
Western North Carolina RR 12 (4-6-0)

ET&WNC
12 is a 98,800 lb. narrow-gauge (36") ten-wheeler (4-6-0) built by
Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1917. It has 45" drivers and 16" x
22" cylinders. Garden railroaders may recognize this as the prototype
for the popular Bachmann Big Hauler and "Annie" (10th Anniversary
edition.) The locomotive was pulling a special consisting of ET&WNC
passenger car 5 at the Tweetsie Railroad, Blowing Rock, North Carolina,
on August 27, 2005, during their first annual railfan days. The next day,
it was double-heading with White Pass & Yukon 190, a Mikado (2-8-2)
that usually pulls the trains at Tweetsie.
